/[  Director admits new movie comedy is really about the climate crisis  
-- video] /
*"Don't Look Up," an apocalyptic comedy*
Dec 5, 2021
CBS Sunday Morning
Can you play an existential crisis for laughs? Correspondent Tracy Smith 
talks with stars Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio, and with 
writer-director Adam McKay (an Oscar-winner for "The Big Short"), about 
"Don't Look Up," a satire about Earth's impending collision with a comet 
that offers a comical analogy to climate change – and mankind's 
reluctance to deal with it.

"CBS Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, 
entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights 
unique human accomplishments and achievements. Check local listings for 
CBS Sunday Morning broadcast times.

Compare two photos 130 years apart and it looks as though sea levels 
haven't moved. So why all the fuss about rising sea levels and 
evacuating islands? This video closes the yawning gap between internet 
myths and science...

*Climate Change: Anxiety to Action*

climate crisis into action.

Climate anxiety refers to feelings of grief, stress and hopelessness 
about the long-term impacts of climate change, according to a 2017 
report by the American Psychological Association.

*GETTING REAL ABOUT IT: MEETING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL DEMANDS OF 
A WORLD IN DISTRESS*
Susanne C. Moser, Ph.D.

    “With our lives we make our answers all the time, to this ravenous,
    beautiful, mutilated,
    gorgeous world.” Nothing could ring more true to someone who chooses
    to commit to
    environmental leadership in these times. I frame this chapter by the
    words of a religious leader,
    Unitarian minister Victoria Safford, and those of a passionate
    educator, visionary engineer, and
    activist scientist, David Orr, to name the enormous task before us –
    active and conscious
    transformation in the face of a mutilated and yet gorgeous world. A
    world in a degree of crisis
    that many are not fully aware of, and those that are, would rather
    deny or avoid.

    Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.
        -- Edward Abbey (1990)
